AC Milan has emerged as the frontrunner among Italian clubs vying to sign Manchester City’s Jack Grealish, with the Serie A giants keen to secure the 29-year-old winger in the 2025 summer transfer window. According to *Fichajes.net* and posts on X from sources like @RealTolmie, Milan’s interest is “real and steady,” viewing Grealish’s flair and technical ability as a perfect fit for their tactical style and ambitions to reclaim European prominence. The Rossoneri see him as a key addition to compete with continental elites, especially after his limited role at City, where he’s started only seven Premier League matches in 2024-25, scoring one goal.
Grealish’s struggles to secure consistent minutes under Pep Guardiola, coupled with a £35 million market value (*Transfermarkt*), have fueled speculation. Milan, already bolstered by Kyle Walker’s January 2025 loan from City, believes a strong relationship with the Premier League champions could facilitate a deal, potentially a €40 million transfer or a loan with an option to buy, per *Global Sports Archive*. Napoli and Inter Milan have also been linked, with Napoli’s interest tied to Antonio Conte’s admiration and a potential reunion with Scott McTominay (*The Sun*), but Milan’s pursuit appears most advanced.
The move could offer Grealish a fresh start after a challenging season, where he’s been outshone by Savinho and Jeremy Doku. His 2022-23 treble-winning campaign with City highlights his potential, but recent performances, like a 4-2 Champions League loss to PSG, have drawn criticism. Fans on X are split, with some calling it a “smart move” for Grealish to revive his career, while others doubt he’ll leave City’s prestige. Milan’s project, backed by their fourth-place Serie A standing and Champions League aspirations, could tempt Grealish, whose contract runs until 2027, to embrace a new challenge in Italy.
